A tattoo platform
built for the work, not the billing
Generic salon software doesn't handle deposits, consultations, or multi-session pieces. Marketplace apps take a cut of every booking. tattoo.shop is built for how tattoo studios actually operate.
What you're really paying
Per-artist fees, commissions, and add-ons pile up. Here's what tattoo studios pay on popular platforms.
| Platform | Pricing Model | Scales With |
|---|---|---|
| tattoo.shop | Flat $30/mo per studio | It doesn't |
| Square Appointments | Free tier or monthly + processing | Per team member (paid tiers) |
| Booksy | Monthly subscription + processing | Per provider |
| InkBook | Monthly subscription per studio | Per studio + per artist |
| Tattoodo | Marketplace + booking fees | % of booking revenue |
Visit each provider's website for current pricing.
